Sorry about white screen of death: WordPress update downed site

Canada hosted 2010. How about a USA indoor worlds in 2019?

Late Saturday night, I installed WordPress 4.3 on this site, using the same process I always do. Then my wife and I continued our vacation, and I didn’t check my site (or email) until late Sunday night. Uh oh. The white screen of death appeared. I couldn’t even access my admin tools. So I gave a quick call to Pair Networks of Pittsburgh, my web host, and tech support diagnosed my problem. At least one WordPress plug-in “didn’t agree” with the WP update, I was told, and the site went down. My thanks to everyone who notified me! My apologies for not jumping on the problem for nearly a day. (But we got some GREAT shots on our trip.) Now I have to go through all my plugins to figure out which one is incompatible with 4.3. May have to wait. In any case, WMA is seeking bids to host 2019 indoor worlds. Maybe a return to North America? (Kamloops, British Columbia, was 2010 host.)
